Everybody should own at least one Lian-Li in their lifetime so that they've got a benchmark to compare the build quality of other cases to. :)

I personally just got lucky back in the day when the local distributer had a couple of old stock of 60 style (Model# 6083A dual 80mm intake, 1 80mm blowhole) he wanted to get rid of so it only cost me around $60. :)

Just an FYI- the build quality on the Sniper is actually pretty good - better than the Antec cases I've seen or the HAF 922/932 . We picked one up to use for measurments for some prototype aluminum cases we're making (which will be far more modular). As far as looks go , either you like it or you don't. It has some issues: fixed mobo tray, CPU access is in the wrong position for our Crosshair IV mobo, and limited water cooling access. I may order a Lian Li to get a better look at one. Not sure what we'll do with either one when were done with them in a few months..
